Vapor, takes place on the fictional planet Gaia Atlia, and besides chronicling the history of these nations, does not have a plot. It is instead a collection of roleplays taking place in the same universe. All of which can be found on the OOC page, [[http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=280508 here]]. Vapor is authored by a number of people, which due to its nature, may fluctuate; those still active as of the moment of writing this include Inoroth, Fanaglia, Servoth, Cygnar, Inesea, Vjiay, Cyprum Xecuii, Mashmahig, Sarmandars, Knights of kings, Pavlostani, and Maashina.
